Product Description

Le Tombeau de Couperin is a suite originally for piano, composed between 1914 and 1917. Each of its six movements is dedicated to the memory of friends of the composer who had died fighting in World War 1. Ravel himself was an army driver during the war. "Tombeau" is a musical term popular in the 17th century meaning "a piece written as a memorial". It was Ravel's intention to pay tribute to his friends and pay homage to the sensibilities of the Baroque French keyboard suites, of which Couperin was a master; this is reflected in the six-movement structure of Ravel's piece.

This arrangement for SATB Saxophone Quartet includes the Fugue, Forlane and Toccata. The Prelude, Menuet and Rigaudon are available on SMP Press in another arrangement under separate cover. This challenging work is an excellent showpiece for Saxophone Quartet and will enhance a variety of concert and performance settings. Duration: 12:13.  Contact me at james.pybus56@gmail.com
